+1 on the Sonic springs. I have a '97 ST and just finished a complete fork rebuild using 1.2 Sonic springs and 8.5 weight oil. It made a nice improvement in the front end. I did all the work myself. At first I was apprehensive about the complexity of doing the fork rebuild, but I researched this and other forums and found a lot of info. There are a few special tools that make the job MUCH easier and I would highly recommend you try to get the tool kit from
John OoSTerhuis as it will be a lifer saver. I have access to a machine shop and built most the special tools included in John's kit.
BTW I traded several emails with Rich at Sonic Springs and he was VERY helpful.
